7 Page 7 College of Aeronautics Newsletter June 2015 Issue 7 Notify Campus Staff in the Event of a Delay or Cancellation in a Scheduled EV Class It has recently become policy that Campus Directors or delegated as CD/ACD must remain at the campus for the first 30 minutes of each EV-Classroom course offered at their respective campus to ensure there are no equipment or otherwise technical issues. There have been instances where some classes were cancelled or started late and the campus staff was not informed. When EVC faculty members delay or cancel classes, they the students but not the host/ remote campus/staff. Some students do not read their s and show up for class anyway. Often, the Campus Director is unaware of the situation and does not know what to tell them. This is why it is important that the affected campuses staff be kept in the loop on delayed classes and cancellations. If an EV Classroom instructor should have delays or cancellations of the course, s/he should be required to notify all campus locations where the course is scheduled to be taught. This will ensure that a staff member/campus location is notified of what is going on so that person can inform students. Now that being present for the first 30 minutes is mandatory for campus staff, we also want to ensure that no one is waiting around unnecessarily. Reminder to all faculty (adjunct and full time) to please notify campus staff (Host and all Remote locations) in the event of a delay or cancellation in a scheduled EV class.
